Abstract

1,254,872. Moderator structures. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. 17 March; 1969 [21 March, 1968], No. 13841/68. Heading G6C. In a nuclear reactor graphite moderator structure, the bodies 11 are arranged in layers to form columns. Adjacent bodies 11 engage at the side faces 17 of the splines 16. Locking members 18 fit into the interstices between the bodies and present complementary faces 19 to the splines on adjacent bodies to prevent rotation. Separation of the columns is resisted by the splines forming a dovetail held between a face 17 and a face 19 on a member 18.
